According to the statistical report of
the Sunday schools in the United
States rendered at the late Internation-
al Convention held in Chicago, there
has been an increase in the scholar
membership of all the Sunday Schools
in the u. S. since 1884 of 1863, G45. 1t is
interesting to know by what agencies
this increase has been secured for it
shows that great missionary work
has been done to bring an army of
365 600 into active membership with
our Sunday schools. No more impor-
tant work can be conceived Of for it
has to do with the destiny of our en-
tire country.
The three last Annual reports of the
American Sunday-School Union, the
old undenomiEational Society "that
cares for the children" who are pro-
vided for by no one else, show that
since 1884, it has brought 1855, 034 chill
dren into 4,947 new Sunday schools,
number equal to 5000 more than
one-half of all the increase reported as
having been secured by this and all
other agencies during these three
years. But this American Sunday
School Union did more than this-It
aided 1926 other schools, which have
49,T74 teachers and 5,714 scholars, -
so that in these three years it reached
9,S72 communities and Sunday schools,
and 700, 749 children and youth, and
! then reaided and revisited these schools
0,245 times, besides making 92,594
visits to families, supplying 45,010 des-
titute persons with the scriptures and
holding 27,247 religious meetings.
That there is great need for more of
of such work in our country, is evil
| dent froru the fact that according to
the International Secretary's report
there are but 9.034,478 scholars in all
the Sunday schools in the United
States that report to this convention
which the Chairman of the Executive
Committee said was five per cent. too
small. If5per.cent.w added, we have
8, 433, POI scholars in all our Sunday
schools. But the statement was made
that 20 per cent should be deducted
for those over 81 and under six years
of age and those who attend more
than one school and are counted twice;
which deducted would leave GAS, 1851
children and youth of school age in all
nnr SnndnY schools. while there are M

The Coos Railroad.

A public meeting was held at the
town hall in Colebrook last Saturday
afternoon, for the purpose of raising
the balance of the $50, 900 necessary to
insure the building of the standard
guage road by Messrs. Frank Jones,
Charles Sinclair and q. Vaudyke, and
the needed sum was quickly secured.
There was a large attendance, the peo-
pie gathering for this purpose from
Connecticut Lake, Pittsburg, Stewards
town, Canaan, Columbia and other
places. Much enthusiasm prevailed
j. II. Dudley, Esq, Chairman of the
meeting, and Mr.. Vandyke said that
they should commence to break the
ground previous to August 1, and cars
would be running to Colebrook Oct.
10. The surveyors are already at
work and beyond any doubt the peo-
pie of that section will soon have rail
road facilities.

From all over the State, where its
borders join Canada, has arisen pro-
test by the working classes against the
importation of foreign wolkmen, and
in a great majority of cases the pro-
test has proved effective. This action
teaches a lesson that is too plain to be
disguised or disputed, and that is that
the laborinG classes more than ever
before are endorsing the principles of
protection as against free trade.

Mr.. Ed B. Goelet, whose patent sleep
ing and reclining chair car has been men
toned in these columns, has received lately
fattering offers from Kansas City, Mem
phis, Little Rock and Sheffield, Ala, to
establish his headquarters and manufaC-
ture the car at these places. Sh3ftield's
offer was especially liberal. Mr.. GOelet
is heart and soul Fort Worth man and
has not as yet accepted any of
the offers made. In a converse
ton yesterday he said he had
met considerable encouragement in this
city, es oecielly from Morgan Jones, Pres
ident Of the Fort Worth and Denver, who
had shown q lively interest in the enter
prise and signified willingness to sub
scribe to the capital stock, other citizens
and railroad men had also agreed to take
Sl00i and $4,000 of the stock. In COM
pliance with the letters and kilograms
from friends in Washington and New
York urging him to come on and form his
company, Mr.. Goelet left last night for
Washington. He said before leaving that
the location of the works was still an
open question and would be even after
the company was formed. Mr.. Goelet
says he asks no bonus and if Fort Worth
will aid by taking stock according to her
means this city will have the first oppor-
tunity to secure the plant. Whether the
cars are built here or not Mr.. Goelet
says Fort Worth will be head
quarters for the south and west,
the cars being operated from here
and the company's offices established in
this city. Mr.. Howard Tully, who has
taken an interest in the matter, will be
informed by Mr.. Goelet OF the progress
of the company in the east. 1t is prob
able that two or more cars will be built
at once at the St. Charles car wo-ks, near
st. Louis, and placed in daily use on
some Texas or western road that 8 prac-
teal demonstration of its good points
may be made.
